2025 Fantasy Outlook
Sanborn spent the first three years of his career in Chicago after being an undrafted free agent in 2022, and he followed Matt Eberflus to Dallas by signing a one-year deal with the Cowboys in March. The 24-year-old Wisconsin product totaled just 100 tackles and 2.5 sacks in a depth role while playing all 17 games each of the prior two seasons, and while he could begin the 2025 season holding down a starting spot due to his experience with Eberflus' scheme, he'll be a stop-gap option at best.

Shifts to IR
Sanborn (groin) was placed on the injured reserve list Monday.
ANALYSIS
Sanborn had already been ruled out for Monday night's matchup against the Cardinals, but he'll now be forced to miss Dallas' next four games after being placed on IR. The Wisconsin product appeared in six games prior to injury, recording 34 total tackles and one pass defended. Expect Shemar James to operate as the Cowboys' top middle linebacker while Sanborn is sidelined.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
Sanborn's career statistics are misleading in terms of his IDP potential. Through two years, he's averaged 64.5 tackles per season. However, the Wisconsin product has played 87 percent or more of the defensive snaps in only seven contests, notching 10.1 tackles per game. The linebacker projects to move into a starting role this year, meaning his weekly tallies should be significantly higher than the last two seasons. Although Sanborn may not post 10 tackles per game, he should be a high-floor IDP.
